3 WAY Comp 12-01-2011

A very successful evening for us in the 3 way Photographic competition held at Winsford by Mid Cheshire Camera Club.


In an closely fought competition with Mid Cheshire and Crewe, we came out on top .
Printed Images were first up and we had some excellent scores, giving us second place with 156 points Mid Cheshire 153 points and Crewe leading with 157 points, I think we all thought Crewe were going to be the winners. However, Whitchurch scored well in the Second half with the digital projected images.


The final scores were Whitchurch 319 points Crewe 317 points and Mid Cheshire 316.

Welldone Everyone
